Why maritime prohibition signs matter

Maritime prohibition signs are vital for creating a safer, more controlled environment on NSW waterways. Without clear signage, boaters may unknowingly engage in prohibited or dangerous activities that could lead to accidents, environmental damage, or conflicts with other water users. 

Whether you need to prohibit vessel entry, restrict specific activities like wakeboarding or towing, or block access to sensitive areas, our pre-designed prohibition signs cover numerous scenarios commonly encountered on the water.

HIVIS’ maritime prohibition signs are highly visible and offer clear, concise messaging that leaves no room for confusion. Featuring red and black symbols on a striking white background, Class 1100 reflectivity, and customisable messaging on select signs, these signs are specifically designed to maintain safety on NSW waterways.

Protecting sensitive habitats & ecosystems

Many areas along Australia's coastlines and inland waterways are home to delicate ecosystems that human activities can easily disrupt. Signs like "no wake zones" and “no power turns” are particularly important in preserving these areas, as they prevent harmful interference that could damage underwater habitats or disturb wildlife. 

By placing these signs in key locations, authorities can safeguard sensitive marine environments while allowing for safe recreational and commercial activities. This balance ensures that Australia's waterways remain both accessible and protected.
